A King County Superior Court judge upheld the city of Kent’s ban on medical marijuana collective gardens.
Judge Jay White issued his rul-ing on a summary judgment mo-
tion by the city on Oct. 5 in court at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.
“We won the entire case,” said Deputy City Attorney Pat Fitzpat-rick during a phone interview. “I was pleased. We expected that re-sult. But we have to acknowledge it’s a complicated matter.”
Steve Sarich, a medical marijua-na supporter who fi led the lawsuit against the city in June in an eff ort to prohibit the city from enforcing its ban on collective gardens, said he also expected the ruling.
“We were disappointed but not surprised,” said Sarich during a phone interview. “And it’s not dis-
couraging. We were prepared for whatever judgment came down.”
Sarich, one of several plaintiff s on the initial lawsuit fi led aft er the Kent City Council passed in June its ban on medical marijuana col-lective gardens, said they would appeal within a few days to either the state Court of Appeals or the
state Supreme Court.“In all the case laws we cited
they were not won instantly,” Sarich said. “Th ey were all won in the Court of Appeals or Supreme Court. We could be in Supreme Court in as quickly as three

Aft er being the most recent man to report “zombie bee” sightings in Washington state, Kent’s Mark Hohn has received a slew of attention from throughout the world.
First on the scene was the Seattle Times, fol-lowed by three local TV stations. Th en the ama-teur beekeeper was visited
by National Public Radio’s KUOW and also KJR radio. He found an article on London’s Daily Mail science page and also the original Times article translated into about six diff erent languages.
“So yeah, it was a pretty big deal,” Hohn said. “It made the Washington Post; it was on CNN.com and USA Today.”

Probate is the legal process that determines how a deceased person’s
assets will be distributed. The Superior Court has jurisdiction to approve the decedent’s Will, and to appoint the person who has the responsibility to administer the estate.
In the process, the rights of the estate’s beneficiaries, as well as the decedent’s creditors and taxing authorities are protected. The financial aspects of the decedent’s life are “wrapped up” and the assets are distributed in accordance with the decedent’s wishes.
Protect your right to distribute your estate as you intend in a cost-effective manner. Consult an estate planning attorney today. Please call 425-227-8700 to make an appointment at one of my two offices, which are conveniently located in Renton and Kent.
Committed to you and the community.

Residents can let the Kent City Council know what they think of the property tax measure on the Nov. 6 ballot as well as a proposed business and occupation (B&O) tax.
Th e council will have public hearings at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 16
in Council Chambers at City Hall. Th e hearings are about Proposi-tion 1, the property tax levy lid lift to help pay for street repairs and parks; and the proposed 2013-14 biennial budget.
Voters will decide on ballots that are mailed out Oct. 19 whether to approve the property tax increase.
If approved, Proposition 1 will raise approximately $29 million
over the course of six years, begin-ning in 2013 and expiring in 2018. Th e city would allocate 23 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation to parks and 14 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation to streets.
Th e measure would authorize the city to collect an additional 37 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value, bringing the regular property tax rate to $1.96 per $1,000 of as-
sessed value. Th e estimated annual cost is an additional $111 for a home valued at $300,000, according to city offi cials.
Mayor Suzette Cooke presented her proposed budget to the council last week, including a new B&O tax to raise about $6.9 million per year starting in 2013 and a 6 percent cable television utility tax to raise about $1.3 million.

Trial date continued for ex-volleyball coachBY STEVE HUNTER
Th e trial date has been changed to Oct. 25 for a former high school vol-leyball coach charged with third-degree attempted rape in connection with a girl he met at Kent’s Lake Meridian Park.
Daniel Gregory Lum-Lung, 35, of Renton, had been scheduled for trial Sept. 18 at King County Superior Court in Kent. Attorneys were granted a request to reschedule the trial for more time to prepare the case.
Lum-Lung, the former Mount Rainier High vol-leyball coach, pleaded not guilty to the charge last November.
Kent Police arrested Lum-Lung on Nov. 15 for investigation of commu-nicating with a minor for immoral purposes, accord-ing to charging papers.
He posted bail and was released Nov. 17 from the county jail. Bail was set at $50,000.
Until his arrest, Lum-Lung taught physical edu-cation at Cascade Middle School and coached girls volleyball at Mount Rainier High School, both in the Highline School District.
Lum-Lung met the 15-year-old girl on a telephone chat line. Th ey agreed to meet at about 5 p.m. last Oct. 22 at Lake Meridian Park, according to charging papers.
While at the park, Lum-Lung allegedly made several verbal requests of the girl to do certain sexual acts. Th e girl told him no.
Th e girl also told police that Lum-Lung asked her to meet him inside the park restroom. She left the park aft er he entered the restroom.
POLICE MAKE DUI ARREST AFTER
SOUTH 272ND STREET ACCIDENT
Kent Police arrested a 19-year-old Federal Way man
for investigation of driving under the infl uence of alcohol
or drugs after his vehicle hit another car at the intersection
of South 272nd Street and Star Lake Road.
The accident occurred at about 12:09 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 7,
according to an email from Kent Assistant Police Chief
Pat Lowery.The preliminary investigation
indicated that an eastbound vehicle on South 272nd Street ran a red light and broadsided
a car with the green signal entering South 272nd from
Star Lake Road, Lowery said.The impact drove the turning
car into two other vehicles that were stopped in the westbound
lanes of South 272nd Street. Police closed the street for
about an hour in both directions to accommodate responding
police and fi re units.Paramedics transported drivers
of the two cars in the initial accident to local hospitals with
non-life threatening injuries. Police arrested the Federal Way
man at the hospital.Charges may be fi led against
the Federal Way driver once toxicology tests are completed,
Lowery said.

weeks. We have no inten-tion to let it drop. We’re right with the case law.”
Sarich argues that the state regulates medical marijuana collectives, and cities cannot enforce federal law over state medical mari-juana laws.
The council banned collective gardens because it believes the businesses violate federal law that lists marijuana as an illegal drug under the federal Controlled Substances Act. State law allows medical
marijuana use but council members decided the state law remains unclear about distribution of the drug and doesn’t want any medical marijuana businesses oper-ating in Kent.
Fitzpatrick said the rul-ing came down to a zoning issue.
“The judge ruled we have the authority to prohibit collective gardens,” Fitzpat-rick said. “It’s not as much about medical marijuana but the city’s right to zone. We have statutory authority to prohibit through zoning.”
The judge also ruled that Deryck Tsang, owner of Herbal Choice Caregivers at 19011 West Valley Highway, must close because of the city’s ban against collective gardens. Tsang operates the only known medical marijuana collective garden in Kent.
Tsang, who is also a plaintiff in the suit against the city, did not return a phone message for com-ment about the judge’s ruling or his plans for the business. Sarich said he figured Tsang would close the business.
‘It’s complicated’Fitzpatrick said the judge
had many issues to look over.
“It’s a very complicated case with the legal rules, state and federal law and the Gov. (Chris Gregoire) vetoes that left it a mess,” Fitzpatrick said. “It’s not an easy case for the judge to make sense of.”
The Legislature passed a bill in 2011 to allow medi-cal marijuana dispensaries and collective gardens. But Gregoire vetoed 36 of 58 sections, leaving a confus-ing legal landscape for cities to navigate.
A couple of medical marijuana businesses opened in Kent after pas-sage of the bill. Evergreen Association of Collective Gardens closed in August on Central Avenue after a letter from the federal Drug Enforcement Administra-tion threatened to shut down the store because it’s too close to a school. Ever-green had remained open despite the city’s ban against the business.

pump up the downtown area.“Even if it’s 10,000 people it’ll
be huge,” Smith said. “That’s why we’ve put in the time and effort in ways to draw attention to downtown. People will go to Kent Station. We want to get them to the historic district for a piece of the action.”
The KDP has helped put up banners and posters around town to promote Skate America. It will offer downtown walking tours as well as business coupon books to visitors.
Volunteers will help the downtown group clean up streets on Oct. 13. Two Skate America tickets will be given away through a drawing to someone who helps with the clean up. The group also will give away tickets to the
downtown business with the best window display to promote the figure skating competition.
The ShoWare Center will have a capacity of 3,940 for each ses-sion of the competition. Many of the arena’s 6,000-seat capacity will be taken up for production pur-poses. NBC Sports will broadcast coverage on Oct. 21.
Tim Higgins, ShoWare general manager, projected that each of the five sessions over three days will sell out.
“We are expecting a sellout for the sessions,” Higgins said last week.
A scan of available tickets early this week on the ShoWare website showed each session about half sold with about 2,000 tickets available per session.
Higgins said it’s a great op-portunity to see top-notch figure
skating competitors.“Fans will be able to see Olym-
pic-caliber skaters and not have to pay Olympic prices,” he said.
Tickets are $40, $25 and $15 per session. The sessions run at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 19; 12:30 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20 and 11:45 a.m. and 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 21.
ShoWare officials hope the event does well so the city-owned arena can attract even more sporting events.
U.S. Figure Skating picked Kent for the site last spring after plans to hold the competition at a Michigan venue fell through. Steve Disson, president of Virginia-based Disson Skating, produced “Pandora Unforget-table Moments of Love on Ice” show Jan. 26 at the ShoWare and recommended the arena to U.S.
Figure Skating officials.“Looking back on how we got
this event was because of the success of the Pandora ice skating event,” Higgins said. “Through that even and word of mouth we were able to land this event. Suc-cess breeds success.”
John Hinds, Kent Station general manager, hopes Skate America draws many fans who will cross the street to eat at Kent Station restaurants.
“It will bring in people from Kent, the region and from around the world,” Hinds said. “We anticipate it will be a positive im-pact. There will be a lot of breaks between sessions and when shows end and before they begin we’ll see an increase in traffic, especially for our restaurants.”

“zombie bees” that have garnered such attention? Hohn, who just became a beekeeper this year, traces back to when he fi rst dis-covered the odd occurrence.
Hohn returned from a vaca-tion in July to discover a bunch of dead bee bodies lying in front of the shop he has in the back of his house. Th inking it was normal, he just blew away the bodies with his leaf blower.
Th en three weeks later, he discovered an online post from someone in Oregon reporting bees behaving strangely. Th ey were said to buzz around lights and crawl on the ground and die.
Hohn took about fi ve bees off the fl oor of his shop, put them in a plastic bag and didn’t think any-thing more of it for about a week.
“Saturday morning I go out to the shop and look at this bag and there’s pupas in with the bees, that I didn’t put in there,” Hohn recalled.
“So, I knew something was up.”He took photos and sent them
off to zombeewatch.org. Zom-Bee Watch is a citizen science project that tracks the zombie fl y, Apocephalus borealis, that parasites honey bees. Th e website and watch are a project of the San Francisco State University’s Department of Biology.
John Hafernik, biology profes-sor at SFSU, and Steven Sheppard, entomology professor at Wash-ington State University, showed interest in Hohn’s evidence that he sent them separately.
Two weeks aft er Hohn sent him a photo, Hafernik confi rmed that Hohn had indeed found “zombie bees” in Washington.
“Zombie bees” are honey bees that have been parasitized by the zombie fl y. Th e fl y bites the bee putting its eggs inside the honey bee. Four to six weeks later, the pupas hatch into fl ies that eat their way out of the honey bees.
“Th is is a native fl y whose na-
tive hosts include bumble bees and yellow jacket wasps,” Hafern-ik wrote in an email. “It is now at-tacking the non-native honey bee. Parasitized honey bees abandon their hives at night on a ‘fl ight of the living dead’ and oft en become stranded under nearby lights.”
Hafernik’s citizen group, Zom-Bee Watch, he runs with his col-leagues, has been following cases throughout the country. Th e goal is to see how big the threat is to honey bees and how widespread is the parasitism.
“It could be an important player in hive failure or it could be a minor player in a bee movie,” Hafernik said.
Th e fl y does not infect humans, however, a decline in honey bees would aff ect human agricultural production and the kinds of fruits and vegetables humans eat, Ha-fernik said.
He and his colleagues have been studying this parasitism by the fl y since late 2008.
Th ere have been parasitized honey bees found along the West Coast from Santa Barbara to Seattle, the group reports. Also, DNA of the fl y has been detected in hives in South Dakota and
Bakersfi eld, California.“Th e fl y itself is distributed
across most of North America north of Mexico,” Hafernik said. “Th us parasitism of honey bees could be more widespread.”
For now, Hohn continues to monitor the situation back at his hives in Kent. He doesn’t believe that his honey supply has been impacted, but says that there are a lot of unknowns out there.
“Th e goal of talking to the press was for people to take more samples,” Hohn said. “Because, we don’t know how widespread this is.”
Since Hohn’s report came out, others in the state have confi rmed “zombie bee” sightings, he said.
For now, no one knows how to stop the occurrence and anything that one does to eradicate the fl ies might impact honey bees nega-tively, Hohn said.
“We need more data to fi nd out how widespread it is and then maybe there’s something we can do,” Hohn said.
Mark Hohn stands behind his beehives at his Kent home. Recently bees from his hives were infected by fl ies that turned them into ‘zombie bees.’TRACEY COMPTON, Reporter

Louisville, Ky.Taking cues from Hollywood,
every year the Kent School Dis-trict celebrates student fi lm and video game makers, who receive awards in the district’s VISFEST, or visual literacy program festival.
Th e annual festival is com-plete with a red carpet, balloons, cameras and all the hype of a mini-Oscar ceremony. Video projects from schools in the district must fi rst receive recogni-tion at VISFEST before they can get sponsorship to compete in the international awards.
Students in the district create the atmosphere and manage the VISFEST awards program. Th ey
also are responsible for creating the criteria with which to judge the proj-ects. Th ey are all a part of the STEP Leadership Team, which helps the district carry out technol-ogy projects.
Kent Meridian senior Jonathan Sooter is par-ticipating in the STEP program for the second year now and interns at district headquarters in the Infor-mation Technology Department.
“It’s a great program. It gives students and staff the chance to get recognized and on to interna-tional competition,” Sooter said of helping with this year’s VISFEST awards.
Sooter hopes to be a Web de-
veloper someday, adding, “STEP has been every-thing and a little bit more in supporting” his dream.
Th is is the kind of atti-tude Jeff Th ungc hopes to foster and inspire among students in the district as they try to harness technology. Th ungc is
the student technology programs manager in the Kent School Dis-trict’s IT Department.
“In visual literacy and digital media production, the meat of the learning is not the project itself,” Th ungc said. “It is the process of the production of the project.”
He hopes and sees students generating ideas, organizing them, constructing sentences and
composing all of it into more and more complex projects through-out the years.
VISFEST has existed since 2002 and Th ungc has been with the program since 2009.
Th e visual literacy program in the district is not just for upper high school classes studying video production, graphic design, Java and C++ programming soft ware. Even kindergarten classes submit projects like one musical that was done with drawings and readings of text in songs.
Pine Tree Elementary School won at the international level for its video project called, “Th e Perfect Heist.”
“Th is year they did win an award, which is pretty incredible
for an elementary school,” said Th ungc, recalling that Pine Tree had to compete among a thou-sand other entries.
“I hate to boast, but we’re considered a best practice site in terms of technology and integra-tion for Microsoft (products),” Th ungc said. “So we have visitors from all over the world, like Norway, England, Singapore and various places.”
Within the district, there are about 10 to 20 classes that partici-pate in VISFEST every year, with usually about four or fi ve making it to the International Student Media Festival and two to three projects receiving awards there.
Videos are available at www.visfest.org

Th e world of sports is in need of a serious face lift . Not a little tummy tuck, or a little liposuction around the midsection, but a serious, fi ve-hour Joan Rivers makeover.
I am so sick of the 10-yard touchdown screen pass to a wide open receiver, which warrants a salsa dance followed
by two chest bumps, 10 heads cracking helmets and an all-out, high-fi ving ceremony. I am also tired of seeing a kicker kneel down in thanks to the Lord Almighty for his gift of three points and the lead over Northwest
Carolina State.Trust me on this, God hates that
last part. God is up on his throne, just
wanting to see his children at play, when one of them starts “Tebow-ing.” God hates that. He told me personally that they should not be thanking him, but giving Bubba Wilson, the unsung right off ensive tackle who threw a great block, credit on the touchdown.
God also told me that they need
to stop all this nonsense, thank me personally and get on with the game because he took the points. And God needs to cover the spread.
Sports also needs to stop relying so much on instant replay. Every sporting contest now takes fi ve hours because of instant replay, and “wanting to get it right.” Whatever happened to human eyes just mak-ing a call?
If the call wasn’t in your favor, just suck it up and get back out there and play.

It’s personal in politics, land battles
Th e political playoff s offi cially have reached the homestretch and a couple of intriguing statements have jumped out at me like dancing mow cow popups on my computer screen.
Th e line that keeps running around in my airspace is, “It isn’t personal.” It has come up in a number of races and it has come up in every political season I can recall.
Political races are always personal. Even if it doesn’t show overtly, it is. I must admit aft er a few decades of covering political races of every fl avor, I have come to believe
the angel of revenge is constantly battling with the angel of ideals and ideas. Revenge is oft en harder to gauge, but it is very eff ective.
I know one thing. If it matters, it will become personal.
I started thinking about my twisted political theory a few days ago while listening to a lecture on Roman emperors by Professor Garrett G. Fagan. Th e lecture series is available at the King County Library, and it is very good.
Stay with me for a few sentences and I will tell you how I connected the dots. Th is isn’t completely whacky, only partially, so hold the lock-me-up keys until I’m done, please.
Over the last 10 years or so I have written about a couple of the more controversial land battles in the state. First was Cascadia in Pierce County, south of Bonney Lake, now called Tehaleh, and the second, the two YarrowBay master planned developments in Black Diamond. While I was in Kent, a num-ber of land use issues were bubbling up to the surface. Land use wars are everywhere.
During the lecture Fagan said something that made the lights fl icker on in my dusty brain. He began talking about the seeds of destruction that took down the Roman republic.
He described one theory from Ronald Syme’s 1939 book, “Th e Roman Revolution.”

Prop 1 is not the answer
Th e Kent Reporter on Sept 20 reported that the city of Kent has had its credit rat-ing downgraded by Moody’s not once, but twice this year. What the article failed to point out is the credit down-grade will cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dol-lars, if not more, in interest costs on any bond off erings by the city.
It’s pretty basic, the higher the credit risk (low bond rat-ing), the higher the interest on the bonds has to be to attract investors. Th e cause of this mess is nothing short of gross mismanagement of taxpayer monies by the mayor and City Council.
So what do they think the answer is? Prop 1. Vote on a property tax to fund parks and roads. To that I say – and I think I speak for a lot of people – I’m sick and tired of the state,
county and now the city using or attempting to use our home and property like a local ATM.
Proposition 1. No. Why should the business commu-nity agree to a business and occupation tax – that gets passed on to the consumer – for more road money. Prop 1, road money, B&O tax, more
road money. What are they going to do? Repave the city of Kent?
So now they’ve hired a consultant at a cost of how many thousands to go over the budget with the directive to save their political behinds.
I would off er the following: 1. When in a fi nancial hole,
quit digging. 2. Th e white elephant known
as the ShoWare Center has lost money since the day it opened, more than $1.3 million so far. It is not your 90-year-old grandma. Cut your losses, get rid of it.
3. Learn some of the basics, economic forecasting, budget writing, cost containment and consolidation. Money is money, no matter if you are a liberal, conservative or any-thing in between.

Fagan said Syme believed the Roman republic was “ripped to pieces by self-serving Roman aristocrats who paid lip service to highfalutin ideals, but were seeking nothing but their own dominance.”
Fagan argued that while Syme’s point is valid, he believes the seeds of the Roman republic’s destruc-tion were in its “normal functioning.”
“The Roman republic didn’t collapse or fall apart,” Fagan said. “It committed suicide.”
Fagan said the inciting incident was a battle over a proposed land use law by a tribune of the plebs (or regular guy Romans). His name was Tiberius Grac-chus. (Don’t you just love that name. I wish we had names like today.)
Tiberius proposed a land use law that made a bunch of senators and land holders start sweating up their togas. Without getting too technical, he wanted to reallocate public land to the home-less and soldiers who had fought for Rome. The soldiers had lost their land holdings because they
were out marching around eating bad food and sing-ing dumb Latin songs, and many of them were home-less as a result. Anyway, the senators decided it was a terrible idea, even though the way Tiberius proposed the law was completely legal within the Roman system.
What interested me was the senators attacked Tiberius on how he pro-posed his law even though it followed the Roman law that was being ignored by the aristocrats and senators so they could keep grabbing land.
The senators said the problem was the way he went about proposing the land law as a plebian.
“He bypassed the senate entirely and proposed his bill directly to the assembly of the plebs, as tribunes had the technical right,” Fagan said.
Technically Tiberius could do this, but it violated the unwritten Roman law of tradition. Not a healthy thing to do.
The remedy was for the senators to grab some table legs and clubs, beat him to death and throw him in the Tiber River. His brother and many friends met a
similar fate.The Roman way of
settling a constitutional question.
I imagine some senator whispered to him right be-fore whacking him, “Noth-ing personal, Tiby, nothing personal.” The story goes he was hit first by his closest friend – very Roman.
What intrigued me was the inciting incident on that day in Rome when Tiberius died began with a battle over land. We have been fighting over land use for thousands of years and we continue to this very day.
Fortunately we seldom see table legs used, but the battles over land use in communities and coun-tries are always intensely personal, and it should be if it matters.

Time for businesses to pay up the piper
The mayor doesn’t like the B&O based on revenues. Why not base it on warehouse square footage – a simpler way of assessing tax?
The Chamber of Commerce wants to dictate terms favorable to it – and would really much prefer that homeowners, who are already under water in their mortgages, pay additional taxes instead of the busi-nesses who tear up the roads with their big, heavy trucks.
It’s time for a unified stand by homeowners against unfair taxa-tion. Businesses do the damage. They are responsible for the bill.
The City Council needs reve-nue. Stand up to the chamber and get the funds needed to repair the roads, refurbish parks and pro-vide services. Make it a permanent tax so the city doesn’t have to come back to the homeowners every six years for more money.
We’re bled dry just trying to pay bills and stay in our homes.
Time for warehouse trucking firms to pay the piper.– Sandra Gill
Hargrove’s actions questionable
As a voting member of the 47th District, I am thoroughly disap-pointed that Mark Hargrove has not withdrawn his bid for State Representative Position 1 because he blatantly violated his official ethical obligations.
He did this by filming a campaign video in the House Republican caucus room in the State Capitol despite being told the video was against staff policy. Further, the video depicts a budget that Hargrove implies he prepared, when in fact it was actually prepared by a House staff member.
While these two indiscretions are certainly enough to warrant disciplinary action, Hargrove sealed the nails in the coffin that was his campaign by soliciting po-tential voters via email addresses that were government property, not the addresses collected as part
of his bid for reelection. These ethical violations send
a clear message to voters that Hargrove is willing to go to any means necessary to win his cam-paign, even if those means involve dishonesty. If this is how he runs his campaign, how can we be sure he doesn’t perform his duties as State Representative in a similar manner?
I wish to be represented by someone who has a demonstrated record of integrity and truth-telling, and that candidate is Bud Sizemore.– Rita Miller
My concerns about McKenna
I recently had a chance to meet Republican gubernatorial candidate Rob McKenna. I had a chance to ask him a question, not as a candidate but as attorney gen-eral. That question concerned the recent decision by the National Republican Party to urge its party candidates (and presumably any elected to office) not to obey the Constitution.
The part of the Constitution the Republican Party opposes is the requirement of Article V of the Constitution mandating a convention call by Congress. The Constitution mandates Congress must call. The Republican Party officially urges its members not to obey the Constitution, even if the term the Constitution sets (34 states applying) is satisfied. But my question concerned a much broader and more important issue than a convention call.
I asked Mr. McKenna if such action by the Republican Party and elected officials was a crimi-nal act as federal law mandates through oath of office laws that federal officials must obey the Constitution. He said no. It was only unconstitutional but not criminal, stating he believes if members of the government violate the Constitution, there is no penalty for doing so unless by specific consent by the Legislature it had previously passed a law making such specific violation a criminal act. Otherwise, it is simply a civil action.
I had to wonder if Mr. McK-
enna was elected governor would he say the same thing for the Washington State Constitution?
Suppose instead of Article V it was the Sixth Amendment or Section 3 of the Washington State Constitution: “No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or prop-erty, without due process of law?”
Would Gov. McKenna say if someone were locked up without trial or even charge there was no violation of constitutional rights be-cause there is no specific law mak-ing it a criminal violation for police to do this? And even if were is such a law, what’s to stop this candidate and the party he represents from simply ignoring that law?
In short, I have to wonder: Can I really trust Mr. McKenna or his party now that they have come out in favor of vetoing the Constitution? It is after all one Constitution and therefore once a party believes it can veto one part, what’s to say they don’t believe they can’t veto all parts any consti-tution, state or federal?– Bill Walker, Friends Of the Article V Convention (FOAVC) co-founder (www.foavc.org).
[ LETTERS from page 6 ]
When I played sports, we were taught to never argue with umpires or referees, that they had the final say, and if a call went against you, that was just part of the game.
Sports is played by humans and
it should be judged by humans. We don’t need instant replay or slow motion to dissect every call. If the game is that close to let a referee decide it, maybe you should have played better.
The NFL recently settled its strike with the NFLRA (Na-tional Football League Referees
Association) about its grievanc-es. Some of the refs weren’t that good and they made mistakes. But this isn’t life or death, it’s a game.
The players and coaches com-plained that they were a distraction for the game with their incompe-tence.
I say they weren’t that bad and a lot of their mistakes could be taken with a grain of salt.
After all, they’re just adults play-ing a game, right?

Kent supports Road Map Project
Th e Kent School Boards recently passed a resolution endorsing the Road Map Project, a community-wide eff ort to dramatically im-prove student achievement from cradle to college and career in South Seattle and South King County.
Th e Road Map Proj-ect’s goal is to double the number of students in the region who are on track to graduate from college or earn a career credential by
2020. Th e project also aims to close achievement gaps for low-income students and children of color.
Th e school districts involved in the Road Map Project are Auburn, Federal Way, Highline, Kent, Renton, Seattle and Tukwila.
Th e Kent School Board passed its resolution on Sept. 26.
Th e Road Map Project has now gathered endorse-ments from six of the seven districts in the region; the school boards for the
Federal Way, Tukwila and Renton districts passed similar resolutions earlier this year.
In addition to working together as part of the Road Map Project, the seven districts also have teamed up to compete for a fed-eral Race to the Top grant. Work is currently under way on the grant proposal and members of the public are encouraged to read the plan and comment. Addi-tionally, people are invited to show support for the eff ort on Facebook.

Kent Police used a bat-tering ram to knock down an apartment door after no one answered knocks on the door during what officers thought could be a potential domestic violence incident.
Officers arrested a man for obstructing a law enforcement officer after they entered the unit at about 4:29 a.m. Sept. 30 in the 25800 block of 113th Avenue Southeast, accord-ing to the police report.
The man gave up
without incident after of-ficers entered his apart-ment with the battering ram and behind a large protective shield. Police did not find anyone else in the unit.
The man told officers he had heard the knocks on the door but thought they would go away so he didn’t answer the door. He said he had been drinking beer and passed out on a bed.
The incident started shortly after midnight when officers arrived at the apartment to investigate a noise complaint of yelling and loud music. Nobody answered the door and of-ficers left.
A few hours later another noise complaint came in from the same address. This time officers thought they heard a female voice as well a man’s voice. They identi-fied themselves as police officers and checked with an on-duty sergeant before busting down the door after no one answered.
The man told officers his
girlfriend had left the apart-ment earlier. A witness told police that the couple can often be heard arguing.
PursuitAn officer chased a mo-
torcyclist for about one mile before giving up the pursuit because of potential danger to other vehicles.
The incident occurred at about 6:45 p.m. Oct. 3 near Southeast 208th Street and 108th Avenue Southeast on the East Hill and ended in the Kent Valley along South 212th Street near 84th Avenue South, according to the police report.
An officer, in an un-marked Ford Crown Victoria patrol car, saw a motorcycle that appeared to have no rear license plate while westbound on Southeast 208th Street. The officer pulled up behind the motorcycle and watched him accelerate from an in-tersection so that his front wheel left the ground.
The officer estimated the motorcyclist sped up to 55 mph in a 40 mph zone and then ran a red light at South 212th Way and 100th Avenue Southeast.
With emergency lights activated on the dash-board, the officer began to pursue the motorcycle. The motorcyclist did not pull over but continued to speed
westbound on South 212th Street and ran another red light at 91st Place South when he weaved between stopped cars at the light.
That’s when the officer decided to stop his pursuit. He saw the motorcyclist also run a red light at 84th Avenue South but then lost sight of him. He searched the area but could not find the motorcyclist.
The officer described the motorcyclist as wear-ing a gray helmet with a black leather jacket that had a blue triangle and the word “Seattle” beneath the triangle.
ProstitutionPolice used a sting opera-
tion to arrest a 48-year-old woman for investigation of prostitution at about 10:35 p.m. Oct. 2 in the 25200 block of Pacific Highway South.
The woman allegedly agreed to receive $40 for oral sex as she sat in the car of an undercover officer, ac-cording to the police report.
Police set up the sting along Pacific Highway because it is a known area for prostitution activity. The area also is known to pimps and prostitutes as the “track” because it’s an area where prostitution occurs.
Officers saw a woman at a bus stop waving at vehi-cles to attract the attention of drivers. An undercover officer pulled up in a vehicle and the woman came over the car and jumped in.
The officer then drove to a parking lot at the
Fred Meyer store when he reported the woman agreed to oral sex for pay so he gave the signal for other officers to surround the vehicle.
The woman denied she agreed to oral sex. She said she needed a ride to her Des Moines home. An officer told the woman if she told the truth she might just be cited at large for prostitution.
But the woman replied, “Yeah, but the last time I told the truth I got into more trouble.”
AssaultOfficers arrested a
26-year-old man for investi-gation of fourth-degree assault and third-degree malicious mischief in con-nection with an incident Sept. 30 at the Uhuru Restaurant and bar, 21022 108th Ave. S.E.
Officers responded to the scene and talked to a restaurant employee, the manager and a security guard about the incident, according to the police report.
The employees had cut off a customer from drink-ing any more alcohol. The man later stumbled around in the parking lot and picked up a cinder block to chase one of the employees.
A bit later, after the man dropped his cellphone, an employee reached to pick up the phone when the man reportedly ran at the em-ployee and threw a punch.

Week six set up some critical showdowns on the football fi eld for week seven in the South Puget Sound League 4A North.
While Kentwood held off Rogers of Puyallup on the road in a non-league game, Tahoma came away with a big win over Kentridge, putting the Conquerors at 6-0 in league while the Bears are 5-1.
Tahoma, with its only league loss to Auburn three weeks ago, hosts Kentwood Friday night. Aft er the dust settles on week seven the SPSL North playoff picture may become a little clearer.
Kentlake comes off a 55-10 victory over Mount Rainier Oct. 6 to take on Kentridge, which will try to bounce back aft er its loss to Tahoma.
Meanwhile, Kent-Merid-ian put together its second win of the season with a 24-7 victory over Auburn Riverside.
Royals down RavensVinnie Malietufa and
Quincy Carter each ran for touchdowns and Dion Le-ung kicked three fi eld goals to lead Kent-Meridian over Auburn Riverside 24-7.
Th e Royals improved to 2-4 overall and to 2-4 in league.
Kent-Meridian trailed 7-6
entering the fourth quarter before Malietufa scored on a 3-yard run and Carter broke loose for a 91-yard touch-down run. Leung kicked fi eld goals of 27 yards in the fi rst quarter, 26 yards in the third quarter and 30 yards in the fourth quarter.
Kent-Meridian played Auburn on Th ursday aft er the Kent Reporter deadline.
Tahoma beats KRTh e Bears scored 22
points in the second half to overcome a 16-10 halft ime defi cit and beat the Char-gers 32-23 at home Oct. 5.
A signifi cant chunk of Tahoma’s points were scored on defense. Joey Lutton scooped up a fumble and ran it 46 yards for the Bears fi rst touchdown. Dallas Hayes returned a fumble 25 yards for a score. Damon Funk had a 56-yard interception return.
Tahoma’s only off ensive touchdown came in the fourth quarter when Shane Nelson threw a 4-yard pass to Harold Th ordarson for the score. Meanwhile, Evan Greenwood kicked a pair of fi eld goals for the Bears. Nelson fi nished the night 28-for-50 passing for 332 yards and a touchdown.
Jimmie Davis took the ball and ran it 81 yards for a Kentridge touchdown while Sebastian Bertulli had a pair of scores, one in the air
on a 19-yard pass from Tra-vis McGuire and one on the ground on a 38-yard run.
Elijah Suka led the Bears defense with 13 solo tackles to go along with a blocked kick.
Kentwood winsTh e Conquerors put up
20 points in the second half for a 31-23 victory over Rogers on the road Oct. 4.
Kentwood had a slim 11-10 lead at halft ime in a what proved to be a back-and-forth contest against Rogers.
Ryan Dozier, who is a standout player on the Conks defense, put Kent-wood on the board with a 5-yard touchdown run in the fi rst quarter.
Kentwood scored two touchdowns in the third quarter to pull away, a 3-yard run by Chance Kalua-Fuima-ono and Jackson Huerta with another big play on a 57-yard punt return.
From there, the Conks relied on the leg of kicker Mitchell Cox, who hit a pair of 26-yard fi eld goals in the fourth, while holding the
Rams to a touchdown.Kalua-Fuimaono rushed
for 153 yards on 20 carries to go along with his touch-down.

Kentridge’s boys golf team got off to a rough start this season with a loss in the fi rst match to Kentwood.
Th en the Chargers ripped off nine straight wins in the South Puget Sound League 4A North division, including the rematch against the Conquerors Sept. 20. Th ere are there’s three divisions in golf, North, Central and South with six teams each.
With a win in the fi nal match of
the regular season against Tahoma on Oct. 4 at Druids Glen Golf Course, Kentridge clinched the league title, explained Chargers coach Charlie Mitchell in an email interview.
“It was a great team eff ort by all six players but the one that stepped up the most was sophomore Michael Hong who shot his season best one over par,” Mitchell said. “He really didn’t want to let down seniors because he knows how hard they have worked.”
Hong was the only Charger of
the six players on the team who is not a senior.
Th e other fi ve, Ahren Young, Nick Fisher, Ben Dubois, Matt Fisher and Chad Elwell really did their jobs this season.
“Th e fi ve seniors … have put in a lot of work so it is nice that they will be able to hang a banner in the Kentridge gym that were a part of,” Mitchell said. “Ahren Young led the group as he has done quite oft en as our No. 1 golfer since he was a sophomore.”
Young has been to state all three
years he has played for Kentridge, and last year the Chargers sent two other golfers to state.
Now Kentridge is getting ready for the SPSL meet set for Oct. 17-18 at Gold Mountain Golf Course.
“We hope to carry this momen-tum into that so we can qualify a lot of guys for districts and state in the spring time,” Mitchell said. “Th e nice thing is that golf is so much about the mental side and confi dence, this will hopefully help with that.”

Th is Friday night Kent-lake takes on Kentridge.
BY KRIS HILL
In a short South Puget Sound League North vol-leyball season all it takes is a loss or two to make things diffi cult for a team with playoff aspirations.
Each team plays nine league games between mid-September and the third week of October.
Th is fall, fi ve games into the SPSL North sched-ule, it’s been something of a roller coaster ride. Auburn Riverside is at the top of the standings as of Monday with Kent-Meridian and Kentwood tied for second, while Kentridge, Kentlake and Tahoma are bunched up in the middle at 3-2 in league play.
Kentwood replaces a number of players who made it to the 4A state title match a year ago and also has its third coach in as many seasons.
Kentlake came out of the gate strong in league play and started with a 3-1 record in the North. Th is is important to a team that is focused on the playoff s. Th e Falcons have missed out on the playoff s in recent years.
Falcons coach Courtney Grady wrote in an email that her players are dedicat-ed to working hard. She has four seniors, two juniors and four sophomores, so it’s a mix of experience but Grady feels like the push
over the summer to focus on teamwork and pride – as well as fundamentals – has paid off .
Kentridge is in the thick of things, as always, and Kent-Meridian is looking to build on a historic 2011 season by putting together a deep state run in 2012 with the Royals hoping to cap it off with some hardware.
Meanwhile, Kentwood’s new coach Mike Vakerics inherited a talented group of returning players.
“I’m very excited with the opportunity to coach this group of KW athletes,” Vakerics wrote in an email interview. “Th ey are extremely ath-letic and our skill level is pretty solid across the board. Lauren Hackett, Mele Halahuni and Sara Toeaina will be forces to be reckoned with as they are gift ed athletes and solid leaders.”
Vakerics, who moved to the area with his wife and son from Michigan, has coached volleyball for 20 years. When he’s not coaching volleyball he’s working in Th e Boe-ing Co.’s training center in Tukwila. He has four children, three of whom are grown while one is a setter for the Air Force Academy. His wife is the junior varsity coach for Kentwood and assists Vakerics with the varsity squad.
[ FOOTBALL from page 13]
Davis has produced a long career of international greatness, including the 2011 World title and the 2010 Olympic silver medal. “It’s going to be a good way to sort of show ourselves at the beginning of the year, sort of set the standard for everyone because it’s the fi rst major competition.
“We are really looking to do that, make our mark and sort of announce to the world that we’re ready, re-gardless of who we are com-peting against,” White said. “Th at’s the most important thing – to go out there and do our best, no matter who shows up.”
Competition on Kent ice begins next Friday, contin-ues Saturday and concludes Sunday. Th e event is the fi rst of six stops in the 2012–13 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating, a series of senior-level invitational competitions.
Medals will be awarded in the disciplines of men’s singles, ladies’ singles, pair skating and ice dancing. Skaters also will earn points toward qualifying for the Grand Prix fi nal.
Davis and White – the only American ice danc-ing team to ever win the World championship and the country’s longest last-ing dance duo – will have
their hands full. Th e fi eld is stacked with top inter-national teams, including Canada’s Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje, who fi nished fourth in the 2012 World championships. Davis and White, the 2011 World champions, settled for second.
Russian’s Ekaterina Bobrova/Dmitri Soloviev – European silver medalists who were seventh in the recent World champion-ship – also are expected to compete in Kent.
Davis and White don’t know what the ShoWare Center will bring this weekend, but the seasoned, world-class competitors have embraced the Pacifi c Northwest, having shined in major competition at Spokane and scoring silver at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.
Beginning the season, more or less, on home ice is very important to them.
“It’s special to use because we are skating on Ameri-can soil,” said Davis, 25. “It defi nitely varies from one venue to the next, and when you have a great audience, one that’s supportive and excited, it can make a huge diff erence. Th at’s what we are hoping for when we come to Kent.”
Added White: “We’ve had some really great experiences in the Pacifi c Northwest. I don’t know
what it is exactly attribut-able to, but we’re expecting the same thing. It is going to be a great event. Some really top ice dance teams will be there.”
Th e Davis-White team – current world record hold-ers for the short dance – has worked on fresh mate-rial to enhance an already complicated routine. Th ey continue to train nearby Ann Arbor, where they both attend the University of Michigan (he studies po-litical science, she, anthro-pology and Italian).
Th ose changes in their program will be evident in the couple’s passionate free dance program.
“It’s a real departure for us from all of our programs
because we really started to connect more on the ice than ever before,” White said. “It’s something we talked about … with the choreography … and we hope it pays off this year.”
While they have always taken matters one year at a time, Davis and White have all but announced their intentions to compete for the 2014 Olympic gold in Russia.
For now, it’s beginning steps on a smaller but im-portant stage in Kent.
“It’s nerve racking to fi nally show the world what we have been working on the past couple of months,” Davis said. “We are looking forward to competing in Kent.”

City of KentDetermination of Significance and
Request for Comments on Scope of Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) Pursuant to the provisions of the State Environmental Policy Act, Chapters 43.21[c] RCW and
WAC 197-11 the City of Kent hereby issues a Determination of Significance (DS) and scoping notice for a project known as the Downtown Subarea Action Plan Update. Proponent, Description ofProposal, and LocationThe City of Kent proposes adoption of the Downtown Subarea Action Plan (DSAP) Update that would allow for long-term redevelopment of the Downtown and Meeker/Wash- ington neighborhoods to meet the following principles. 1. Memorable Downtown Experience2. Economic Vitality3. Urban Livability4. Pedestrian Priority5. Enjoyable Outdoor Space6. Neighborhood Compatibility7. Environmental Sustainability8. Commitment to Implementation The Study Area includes approximately 552.1 acres encompassing the Kent Urban Center as well as an area west of SR-167 to 64th Avenue South (generally the Meeker/Washing- ton Activity Center) and along Central Avenue to approximately S. 234th Street.EIS AlternativesThe City has identified three pre- liminary land use alternatives to be evaluated in the Supplemental EIS: • Alternative 1 – No Action
Alternative• Alternative 2 – Downtown
Subarea Action Plan Update – Moderate Growth
• Alternative 3 – Downtown Subarea Action Plan Update – High Growth
Preliminary alternative growth estimates for the study area pro- ject an increase in housing be- tween approximately 620 and 7,680 units, and an increase in jobs between approximately 2,890 and 9,240. Both action alternatives assume adoption of the DSAP Update and adoption of a Planned Action Ordinance and a SEPA Infill Exemption in portions of the Study Area, as well as adoption of zoning amendments and development regulations to implement the DSAP Update. Lead Agency and EIS Required The City of Kent, as lead agency, has determined this proposal is likely to have a significant adverse environmen- tal impact on the environment. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required under RCW 43.21C.030 (2)(c) and will be prepared. The City intends to evaluate the DSAP Update in a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (Supplemental EIS) that supplements the infor- mation in the following EIS: City of Kent Comprehensive Plan Review and Midway Subarea Planned Action EIS Draft October 22, 2010, and Final September 1, 2011. The EIS an- alyzed the Downtown and the Meeker/Washington activity cen- ters both of which make up the DSAP Study Area. An environmental checklist or other materials indicating likely environmental impacts can be
reviewed at: City of Kent Depart- ment of Economic and Commu- nity Development, 400 W. Gowe #300, Kent, WA 98032, or at the project website: http://www.Ven- tureDowntownKent.com.Scoping Scoping is optional for a Supple- mental EIS; however, the City is voluntarily conducting scoping to gain public input at this early stage of the DSAP Update. The City, as lead agency, has identi- fied the following areas for anal- ysis in the Supplemental EIS: Transportation, Land Use Pat- terns, Plans and Policies, and Parks and Recreation. The City will rely on the prior analysis of other topics in the 2011 EIS. Agencies, affected tribes, and members of the public are invited to comment on the scope of the Supplemental EIS. You may comment on EIS alternatives, issues the EIS should evaluate, probable significant adverse environmental impacts, and licenses or other approvals that may be required. Written comments may be submitted on the scope of the Supplemental EIS until 5:00 pm November 2, 2012. Com- ments can be submitted to the project website: http://www.Ven- tureDowntownKent.com at the Supplemental EIS Scoping page, or can be sent to: Gloria Gould-Wessen, Long Range PlannerPlanning Services | City of Kent Economic & Community Development Department400 West Gowe, Kent, WA 98032

Fall is here and frost is slipping in to fi nish off any summer plants, but there is still time to add some color to container gardens and planting beds.
Winter pansies, hardy mums, late-blooming asters and ornamental cabbage and kale are available now at garden centers for instant color.
Buy large size plants in gallon containers, place them on your porch and surround the plastic nursery pots with pumpkins and gourds. Now you have an instant autumn display of color without even picking up a trowel.
Your fall fi eld goals for great yardage should in-clude improving your own home playing fi eld, so if you haven’t yet added lime and a slow release lawn food then this is the week to get into the game and score.
If your lawn turned dry and brown this summer you can improve its ability to hold moisture by aerat-ing now and then raking a few inches of compost-rich topsoil over the top. Topdressing a lawn like this will also help to level out any low spots to give the illusion of a more uniform surface aft er mowing.
Dig in and investigate those brown areas of your lawn before winter sets in. It is oft en a large boulder or a chunk of cedar buried just below the surface of the soil that is causing a small area of the lawn to dry out quickly in the summer sun. If you hit a patch of clay or sand under the surface of the lawn, dig in compost to improve any soil.
Here’s the other fall fi eld goals for lawn and garden this month:
on peonies all the way to the ground. Th is will help prevent fungal infections or black spots on the plants next spring.
berries around your shrubs to prevent mummy berry, a fungus disease moving into our area that over winters on fallen fruit.
blooming bulbs – you’ll be able to look forward to early color all winter long. My favorite bulbs for low maintenance color with many happy returns are winter-blooming snow-drops and the amazing deer, vole and shade-resis-
tant dwarf daff odils. Look for “February Gold” and “Tête-à-tête” daff odils. Th ey even bloom in the shade.
summer squash and other frost sensitive crops from
the vegetable garden. Over seed empty soil with a cover crop like legumes or vetch to keep down weeds. Th en you can till this winter cover
crop into the soil in early spring as a green manure.
canna and dahlias with a tarp and then a mulch to keep out the winter rain. It is the wet, not the cold that kills these summer bloom-ing bulbs during our rainy winters.
close to the house under the protection of the eaves. You’ll be surprised at how many plants sold as annuals that can survive our winter weather with just a bit of protection. Geraniums, di-ascia, alyssum, begonias and fuchsias have all been known to give encore performances for a second summer.
bait if you want to enjoy the blooms of winter pansies or ornamental cabbage and kale. Wet weather means active slug colonies.
lawn. Big leaves from maples and chestnut are especially heavy and can smother the grass. Harvest the fallen leaves by stuffi ng them into plastic garbage bags along with some soil.
Poke air holes into the bag with a screw driver and store outdoors for the win-ter. In spring you’ll have bags of leaf mold to use as a weed-blocking mulch around shrubs and trees. Leaf mold is also an excellent soil con-ditioner but it oft en harbors tiny slugs. Do be careful us-ing leaf mold around young and tender plants in the spring. Leaf mold is a great soil conditioner when buried into the soil.
month to buy and plant trees, shrubs and perennials.
around young trees. New research confi rms it is bet-ter not to stake young trees because letting them whip around in the wind forces them to grow more stabiliz-ing roots. Sometimes you must put tree stakes around a young tree the fi rst year to make it stand straight but aft er that, any staking does more harm than good.
of civil disobedience by randomly planting spring bulbs in a public space.
Defy the law and poke a few daff odil bulbs in a bed next to the library. Improve your park without permission by planting a patch of crocus. Senior centers and nursing homes might also appreci-ate the “Occupy Spring” movement of planting bulbs now for a surprise display in the spring.
